2: Slaves were treated with no respect by their owners. Their owners whipped them and forced them to work through any situation, even if they were injured. | A slave getting whipped | A slave's whipped back

3: A minstrel was a show in the 1800s where white actors would dress up and put masks on, and play an African-American slave. The whites never thought that it would hurt the African-America’s feelings, or even that it was racist. | A sign saying no to racism | A Minstrel cast

4: Slaves were forced to work hours on end on various tasks such as herding cattle, sewing, growing crops, and a lot more jobs.
